Social Media for Marketing and Brand Management

One of the biggest challenges for marketers is to measure the impact of marketing efforts on the brand and revenue. Even with all of the marketing automation tools, quantifying the impact of marketing remains an elusive goal for many CMOs.

Social media is yet another landscape marketers must navigate. Most understand there is great value in the consumer data within social media, but finding the right solution and process to organize it and make use of it is perhaps the greatest roadblock.

By searching social media for mentions of keywords around a brand or competition at any specific location, marketers can better understand their audience and target their messaging for greater success.

In one case, Snaptrends was used by a major mobile communications carrier who sponsored the biggest football event of the year. Sponsoring this event was an enormous investment and this company wanted to know if their investment was worth it. By placing a lens over the stadium, they were able to find every mention of their brand to see if it was trending, what spectators felt about the event and if they had positive or negative comments about their brand.

In another instance, a company was testing two versions of a product launch in two separate areas of the country before releasing their product to the masses. They wanted to gauge the effectiveness of each launch in these locations so they placed a Snaptrends lens over both areas and searched social media for keywords related to their brand and competition. They were able to determine which locations were trending positive and which were negative so they could modify their marketing messaging before the nationwide launch.
